HAlR-CURLING PIN.

fiPEC'IPICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 317,216, dated May 5,1885.

Application filed.Jn11e 26, 1884. (No model.) Patented in Germany January 12, 1885, No. 30,626.

To aZZ whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, JEAN SOHWIEBERT, a subject of the Kingdom of Prussia, Germany, residing in the city of Barmen, in the Kingdom of Prussia, Germany, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Hair- Ourling Pins, (for which Letters Patent have been granted to me by the governmentof Germany, dated January 12, 1885, No. 30,626,) of which the following is a specification.

This invention has reference to an improved hair-curlin g pin for producing curls and waves in live or cut-off hair; and the invention consists of ahair-curling pin formed of two shanks which are pivoted at one end and clamped together at the opposite end, the face of the shanks being either flat or with a tongue and groove, so as to interlock with each other.

In the accompanying drawings, Figures 1 and 2 represent perspective views of two different forms of my improved hair-curling pin, showing the hair retained thereon. Fig. 3 is a perspective view of another form of the same; and Figs. 4, 5, 6, and 7 are vertical transverse sections through differentlyshaped shanks of the curling-pin.

a spring-clasp, d, that holds the hair that is placed in position between the shanks of the pin. The spring-clasp d is either pivoted to the pivot c of the shanks a b, as in Figs. 2 and 3, or made by a separate piece, as shown in Fig. 1. The shanks a b are so shaped at their adjoining faces that they tightly clamp the hair which is placed between the same. The adjoining faces of the shanks may be either fiat, as shown in Figs. 5 and 6, or provided with a tongue and groove, which fit into each other, as shown in Figs. 4 and 7.

. The curling-pin is used in the following manner: The ends of the hair are placed between the shanks of the pin, which are then pressed together by the fingers. The hair is then wound around the outside of the shanks, in which position it is held by closing the spring-clasp d.

. Having thus described my invention, I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent- A hair-curling pin consisting of two shanks pivoted at one end and connected by a spring clasp at the opposite end, the faces of the shanks being provided with a tongue and groove, so as to fit closely one into the other, substantially as set forth.

In testimony whereof I have signed my name to this specification in the presence of two subscribing witnesses.

JEAN SOHWIEBERT.
